Laughter reduces stress and boosts trust, motivation, team spirit and cognitive abilities. The result for conferences and meetings is a higher energy level, less time wasting and arguing.
Experience shows that the best results are achieved by starting a conference, meeting or events with a laughter session and strategically including laughter sessions to energise the proceedings.
Early morning sessions can awaken and energize participants, a short after-lunch sessions can counter energy-loss from digestion, evening sessions can enliven and energise dinners.
Laughter has longer term benefits for the participants and their organisation as well. The effect of fun, levity and laughter incorporated as a key value in business is reported in a book: The Levity Effect by Adrian Gostick and Scott Christopher published by John Wiley & Sons Inc. Fun companies on average outperform the S&P 500 average by 237%.
Furthermore the Harvard Business Review reports that managers who incorporate fun into their management style earn more money, are promoted faster and have influence on group decisions.
